Need some help picking new wheels
Just wondering if anyone can help out with picking some new wheels for a 2wd, currently have the crager soft 8 and want to stay with that look.
Cragar 3985155 - Cragar Soft 8 Chrome Wheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com
15x10 with 30x12 mickey thompson tires in the rear and 15x7 in the front, the problem is the rear tire sticks out beyond the bedside, I want them to tuck in more under the body.
the specs for the cragers are: 15x10, 4.00 inch backspacing, -38mm offset
so for those with 2wd's and running wide tires on the rear, what wheels do you use to have them tuck under the fenders nicely.

Ok, I have decided that I'd like to keep these wheels, BUT what I want to do is have the backspacing changed from 4" to 6" so the tires will be inside the fender.
Has anyone done this? If so who did you use a local shop or a national wheel repair place, etc....it's a 2 pc steel wheel so it shouldn't be all that difficult to do it.
